Mon, 30 Sep 2013 11:51:13 +0000mindmap35379611@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I went as it's not far from me and the tickets were cheap enough buying in advance.</p>
<p>There did seem to be a bit more MTB stuff this year and some great deals on Intrepid clothing. In some ways last year was better because they had the premier for Where the Trail Ends which took up some time.</p>
<p>It was better than being at work and no doubt, I'll go again next year. I doubt I'd make an effort if I lived miles away though.

<p>If only, we were unfortunate to meet the 'fan' (by that I mean stalker) who asked that question...</p>
<p>Very strange fellow, smelt like he'd never had a bath and insisted on talking at us all the way home one the train. Yes, he was the obligatory 'train nutter' </p>
<p>Anyway, not the greatest show really but a way to kill a couple of hours and waste a couple of quid on a Saturday afternoon

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 09:48:26 +0000stayce885379155@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>went yesterday hoping to get measured for a saddle as every one i buy is so uncomfortable but nobody was doing it <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_sad.gif" title=":(" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> <br />
only thing i ended up buying was a sachet of 'recovery' hot chocolate for £1<br />
had a go on the electric bikes, the cube mtb was quite good, the throttle style bikes were pretty freaky

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 08:25:03 +0000xherbivorex5378931@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>i went on saturday on a free ticket. it was okay, i suppose. some nice stuff to look at, and we got some good advice about women's kit from a couple of stands (for the gf, obviously).</p>
<p>the athertons Q&amp;A was odd- "have you ever ridden your bike at cannock chase?"...

shame so few people had stuff to sell. but hey oh.<br />
i'd go again but i don't think you would need to go every year.

The most fun we had was on the electric bike circuit.

I've been the last two years and been very disappointed, but I think Madison are turning up this time so it might be better, only way I'd go now is if I had a free ticket. If you're going by car expect to pay £10 ish to park it</blockquote>

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:25:50 +0000TiRed5378687@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Went last year and the year before. This year looked the same, so I spent a very pleasant afternoon at the club family day at Herne Hill instead. Will go to London though, and enter the IG race.

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 14:42:58 +0000matther015375836@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Went today as i got a free ticket. Wasnt overly impressed with mtb stuff, but got a good close up of the pivot mach, stumpy and enduro carbon. Very impressed with the ti kinesis and van nicholas...but wasnt sure why ktm had the new carbon 65mm LEV on the 140mm lycan.</p>
<p>Good deals at intrepid tho.</p>
<p>Saw all the atherton family at whetherspoons but thought it to rude to ask for photo during lunch.
